“It would be the death of you to come with me, Sam,” said Frodo, “and I could not have borne that.”
“Not as certain as being left behind,” said Sam.
“But I am going to Mordor.”
“I know that well enough, Mr. Frodo. Of course you are. And I’m coming with you.”
Everyone needs a friend like Sam: someone who sees the danger, who sees that you’re choosing a difficult path, and who sticks with you anyway. I’m blessed to have a few people in my life who are Sam to me. I can’t imagine what a dark place this world would be without them.
